To draw this cartoon Goat step by step, follow along with the video tutorial below and pause the video after each step to draw at your own pace. You may find it easier to follow the step-by-step drawings below the video. The new lines in each step are shown in red, so you'll know exactly what to draw next. You may want to open the video in a new tab and use both drawing methods. Take your time and draw at your own pace.

 

Written step-by-step video tutorial:

 

For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.

 

 

Step 1: Lightly sketch two small ovals for the goat's eyes. Sketch lightly at first so you can easily erase if you make a mistake. When you get the shapes right, darken the lines. Inside each eye, draw two tiny circles to represent glare. Shade the insides of the eyes using a dark value but don't overlap the tiny glare circles.

 

Step 2: To the left of the eyes, draw a curved line similar to the letter C for the cheek. The line should end below the eye on the right to create the bottom of the goat's head.

 

 

Step 3: Below the eye on the left, draw a small, Y-shaped line for the goat's nose. Under the head, draw an angled line that has a shape similar to the letter V for the goatee.

 

Step 4: To the left of the eyes, draw a line that curves up and to the left for the front of the goat's head. At the top of the head, draw three jagged lines for hair. Notice how high up the goat's head is from the eyes.

 

 

Step 5: To the right of the hair, draw a triangular shape as a guide for the goat's first horn. The top tip of the horn should curve to the right slightly.

Step 6: On the top, left side of the head, draw a similar shape for the other horn.

 

Step 7: On the left side of the head, draw a sideways arc with a line through the middle for the goat's ear.

 

 

Step 8: To the right of the head, draw the goat's other ear using a bigger set of curved lines. The ear is essentially made up of two curved, horizontal lines with a third line in the middle for the opening.

 

Step 9: Below the ear, draw a curved line that almost meets the chin for the rest of the goat's head. Inside each horn, draw two curved lines for some ridges.

 

 

Step 10: Below the head, draw a long, curved line for the front part of the goat's body. The line should be similar to a backward letter J. To the right of the head, draw another curved line for the back of the goat's body.

Step 11: On the lower, left side, draw two vertical lines for the first front leg. At the bottom, close off the leg with a W-shaped line for the goat's hoof.

 

Step 12: To the left, draw a similar shape, only smaller, for the goat's other front leg.

 

 

Step 13: On the right side, draw the hind leg the same way but make the shape slanted a bit. Don't forget the W-shaped hoof at the bottom. Connect the legs using a horizontal line for the bottom of the goat's body.

 

Step 14: To the left of the first hind leg, draw a similar shape but smaller for the other hind leg. On the top, right side of the body, draw a jagged, pointy, triangular shape for the goat's tail.

 

 

Step 15: Using a pen or marker, carefully go over the lines to make your goat drawing permanent. After inking, get rid of every pencil mark with an eraser.

 

Final Step: Color your goat drawing using color pencils, markers or crayons! Use yellow for the horns and pink for the ears. Use brown for the hooves and gray for shadows. If you'd like, you can add brown spots to the goat's body. Don't forget to pause the video after each step to draw at your own pace.
